Luminex

Klopman's Luminex range of fabrics has established new standards of performance for high visibility clothing. The superior luminosity and brightness of the colours – High Visibility Yellow, High Visibility Orange and the first ever fully-accredited High Visibility Red – means that Luminex fabrics exceed all relevant European norms.

Available in a choice of weights, the mid and heavyweight fabrics also have the additional protection of HYDROFOIL, Klopman's exclusive EN-accredited high-performance chemical splash, water and oil repellent finish which helps to maintain a garment's smart appearance.

Luminex benefits include:
Superior colour brightness and luminosity.
Improved comfort and drape.
Consistent industrial wash performance.
Extra protection from chemical splash, water and oil finish.
Effective against UV radiation.
Ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Exclusive new contrasting colours for use in high visibility garments
In order to fully meet the stringent performance requirements of EN 471:2003, Klopman has a unique collection of new non-fluorescent colours, specifically designed for use in combination with high visibility fluorescent fabrics.
